This is interesting... I don't know if the club scope's mirror needs
coating but I wouldn't send it to Cary if it needed coating and I
wouldn't promote his service. BTW, he used to be known as Woden
Optics.

Cary did the final finishing on my 10" mirror. By the test spec I was
sent, it should be a fine mirror. I have no problem with his
mirror-making skills. At that time he was sending his mirrors to L &
L Optical for coating. I had paid Cary up front for the coating and
there was a period of time where I wasn't sure that I would get my
mirror back because he hadn't paid L & L for the coating service. It
took 3-4 weeks to resolve the issue.

I would, however, recommend L & L for coating service.

Sorry for the late reply. The club scope s mirror coating isn t great, but it isn t terrible. Probably not worth putting money into for now.

Sorry for the late reply. The club scope's mirror coating isn't great, but it isn't terrible. Probably not worth putting money into for now. One of these days we'll get a public observing session that isn't clouded out so you guys can take a look. I've used the solar filter several times, pin-holes and all, and the sun looks pretty good. I'm still trying to get around to re-doing the aperture mask.

If we aren't going to see you Wednesday night, could you post how your scope project is going?

This is interesting. .. I don't know if the club scope's mirror needs
coating but I wouldn't send it to Cary if it needed coating and I
